Why Firepay Sucks for Canadians

[PurpleLight]

After recieving a 15k USD deposit into my firepay account, you can see clearly from the conversion to Canadian funds and the conversion table's rates how badly they're juicing people on exchange.

Available Funds
$16,377.00 CAD

Approx. Conversion
GBP £7,507.21
EUR €11,106.81
USD $14,098.65

Thats $991.35 that has essentially become a "fee" if I move money from site to site. That's huge.

This is written with two purposes. As an FYI to other people, and to blow off some steam.

Wow, looks like about a 6.5% knock off the exchange rate. I thought 2.1% was industry standard. I believe NETeller uses 2.1%.

Firepay sucks. Period. They sucked from day one.
